A lucky plumber from Southaven, Mississippi has become an instant millionaire after spinning the reels of a Wheel of Fortune slot. The lucky player in question, identified only as ‘Christopher B.’, took home a progressive jackpot worth a whopping $3,031,092.23.

Luck strikes twice

The 30-year-old winner said he has no immediate plans for the windfall, and together with his family he celebrated the win at the casino’s restaurant. Another fortunate gambler hit a $8.3 million at the Fitz Casino & Hotel less than one month ago. “We are excited to celebrate another jackpot winner, and it proves that luck can strike twice,” a spokesperson for the casino commented.

$500 million in jackpots

International Gaming Technology is the company behind many popular slot machines, including the Wheel of Fortune slots. Nevada and New Jersey are the two states with the largest number of jackpot winners. The state of Mississippi comes in third with jackpots worth over $500 million in total. A punter from Biloxi holds the record with a Wheel of Fortune jackpot of $14 million.
